Tips for Defeating the Mad Clown Puppet Boss in Lies of P

In Lies of P, a Souls-like RPG adventure by Neowiz Games, challenging boss battles are a central element of gameplay. While the game features both mandatory and optional boss encounters, you’ll encounter a particular secondary boss just before the primary boss in the Rosa Isabelle Street area.

To defeat the Mad Clown Puppet boss with relative ease, follow this straightforward strategy. The battle takes place in a unique arena—a flaming, hilly street. Start by eliminating the puppet enemies armed with flamethrowers accompanying the boss. Begin with the puppet behind the gate, which is setting it on fire.

Dodge the boss’s fireball attacks and then climb the hill, intentionally provoking the flamethrower-wielding puppets. Afterward, retreat to a safe spot and eliminate them one by one. This method ensures you clear the area of dangerous enemies before focusing on the boss.

Alternatively, you can use a cheesy strategy by stocking up on various throwables. Provoke the boss from a distance and keep him in your throwable range while avoiding his attacks. When he approaches a certain limit (the spot where the first puppet was setting the gate on fire), he’ll retreat. Follow him, land some hits, and then retreat. Repeating this process will eventually lead to victory against the Mad Clown Puppet boss.
